Sleepbomb

Sleepbomb is a San Francisco-based cinematic psychedelic post-rock band focused on full, original scores for genre films
including The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, Frankenstein, Metropolis, George Romero’s 1968 Night of the Living Dead and the epic swords & snakes of John Milius’ 1982 Conan the Barbarian. Historically a live experience, Sleepbomb has performed their scores across the West coast of the US since 2003.

Musically, Sleepbomb ranges from heavy doom riffs to dreamy shoegaze, dark soundscapes
punctuated with shimmering guitar and ethereal organ. Originally stylistically close to a chaotic
version of Throbbing Gristle vs Black Sabbath, Sleepbomb has been exploring experimental
sounds and forms throughout their career, guided by the band’s love of Godspeed You! Black
Emperor, Coil, Neurosis, Sunn 0))), Ulver and Swans, among others. Settling on a drone
influenced style of psychedelic post-rock as the overarching theme while exploring other genres
as appropriate for each film’s particular style, Sleepbomb’s goal is to re-contextualize the
experience of these well known films.

Sleepbomb joined Bill Gould’s koolarrow records and Belgium’s Consouling Sounds in 2023 for
the releother genres as appropriate for each film’s particular style, Sleepbomb’s goal is to re-contextualize the experience of these well known films. They succeed in this goal.ase of their score for the classic 1920 German Expressionist film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. They were overjoyed to repeat this collaboration for their 2025 release of The Sleeping Dead:
excerpts from an alternate score for George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead.
Their most recent record, Songs in the Key of Conan, arrived June 2026 on Koolarrow Records.
